I created a new abstract still life mixed media collection called Wild Fruits. They’re part of the In the Garden series.
They are colorful and expressive paintings with a textured surface. Each piece is on 9×12 inch mixed media paper.
I chose to paint blueberries and pomegranates. They remind me of my grandma’s garden. I also chose strawberries because I couldn’t resist painting those beautiful berries with sweet flowers!
THE PROCESS
I used charcoal, graphite for the first layers and values. Then, I added soft pastel, acrylic ink and acrylic paint.
Next, I etched into the first layers with pencils or other tools. Watercolor, grease markers, and colored pencils were applied to the final layers.
CURRENT LISTINGS
Two paintings have been gifted to relatives. The other seven will be listed in the shop for sale on Friday.
I only have originals of these paintings. They will not be available on my print shop.
I will be making similar artwork especially for the print shop.
PRODUCT VIDEO
I’ve been creating simple product videos about my work. I hope they help with showing the colors and textures of the paintings. I’m still new at making videos.
